"Management as we know it is a century-old, outdated technology; we need to radically reinvent how we organize and collaborate to rise to the challenges of our time, and this book offers some powerful tools for that journey." —Brian J. Robertson, author of Holacracy, The New Management System for a Rapidly Changing World “A Radical Enterprise is a masterclass on the future of business. Parker inspires us with practical solutions for building open, decentralized organizations and shows us how to create the conditions for teams of any size to find meaning and fulfillment in their work.” —Aaron Pava, Chief Experience Officer (CXO), CivicActions The fastest growing and most competitive organizations in the world have no bureaucracies, no bosses, and no bullshit. The tomato sauce in your pantry. The raincoat in your closet. The smart TV hanging in your living room. What do all of these products have in common? Chances are they were created by organizations where colleagues self-allocate into teams based on intrinsic motivation. Where individuals self-manage their commitments to each other without the coercion of managers. And where teams launch new products and ventures on the market without the control of leaders. These organizations represent a new, radically collaborative breed of corporation. Recently doubling in number and already comprising 8% of corporations around the world, scientists and researchers have discovered that radically collaborative organizations are more competitive on practically every meaningful financial measure. They enjoy higher market share, higher innovation, and higher customer satisfaction than their traditional corporate competitors—and they also enjoy higher engagement, loyalty, and motivation from their employees. In this groundbreaking book, technology thought leader and organizational architect Matt K. Parker breaks down the counterintuitive principles and practices that radically collaborative organizations thrive on. By combining the latest insights from organizational science, sociology, and psychology, he illuminates four imperatives that all radically collaborative organizations must embrace in order to succeed: team autonomy, managerial devolution, deficiency gratification, and candid vulnerability. Millions of workers around the world are collapsing under the weight of command-and-control culture. The crisis has reached its breaking point. Now is the time to embrace radical change. Discover the revolutionary shift to partnership and equality and the economic superiority that follows with A Radical Enterprise."What I found most refreshing about this book is that it speaks to what is key and important to becoming a Radically Collaborative workplace and producing tangible results. And it's about how our world is going to metamorphosize from a system of domination to one of collaboration. Kudos to Matt Parker!” –Matt Perez, cofounder of Nearsoft and coauthor of RADICAL COMPANIES
